well?

Inverse Icarus · April 18, 2003, 15:57

tienes tres dias.

i VAS A VOTAR !

Kuciwalker · April 18, 2003, 16:53

Slightly biased choice

voted Bab Blue

GhengisFarb™ · April 18, 2003, 21:48

Black doesn't show up on the cultural and minimap and I want to see the vast lands we conquer.

BigFree · April 19, 2003, 00:19

Attack with Black; just to show the AI how truly evil we are.

MrWhereItsAt · April 19, 2003, 01:38

What a decision to make... and thanks for the poll Uber.

Hopefully this is the last detail to be decided upon, and then we can get slaughtering.

Hakkapeliitta · April 19, 2003, 05:44

I voted for black, but then I started to think if it's a colour at all. You see, when we look from the physics point of view, black absorbs all the light's colour wavelenghts to itself, therefore there shows up no colours in our eyes. So is it a colour after all...

Just a thought

BigFree · April 19, 2003, 06:08

White is the pressence of all colors.
Black is the absence of all colors.
At least that's what I remember from one of my grade school science teacher's; I think they were oversimplfying it though.

Donegeal · April 19, 2003, 08:34

What is this?!?!?! The best color isn't even in the poll!!!!

IMNSHO, the best color is the secondary purple of Korea. Korea blows as a civ, but the color rocks. It can't seem to make up its mind about wether it is blue or purple... It kinda blends together to some how achieve both colors. Check it out some time...

Kloreep · April 19, 2003, 12:38

Seeing as red is a lost cause, I vote for Bab Blue.

Go Blue!

Master Zen · April 19, 2003, 14:36

where in hell is the khaki green I proposed?!?!?!!?

just because no civ uses it by default doesn't mean it's bad...

so I voted other: KHAKI GREEN

E_T · April 20, 2003, 16:43

I want Hot Pink!!! Or maybe Banana Yellow, in honor of the Great Banana...

Seriously, as long as we get a color that is noticable enough, that will be o.k. But I'll take Black.

Kuciwalker · April 20, 2003, 17:49

I think blue fits the Vikings more. I dunno... black just doesn't like right

UnOrthOdOx · April 20, 2003, 22:50

I prefer red for one fact. I am color blind in a rare way. I cannot see shades of similar color. Red stands out in forests the best for me. The 'colorblind help' only assists with cities, and the color rings will only work if it is of a different color than the forest or background (ie, definately NOT green). I can probably handle black fine, though, for this first term. It's choice may preclude my absense from any official position other than FAM later if I find it difficult to see units, though, after this first term when I will know locations of units simply because I will be the one ordering my relevent units around. Later, having to search for larger numbers of them may not be possible.
Yes. I have had Zulu sneak up on me before since I have trouble immediately picking them out from some backgrounds. I have also had 2 civs next to each other that I cannot tell the difference between their colors. The Silver, and one of the lighter blues are two that are difficult for me. Sure wish that colorblind help also added titles under the units...

I am also trying out terrain graphic mods to help me with this currently. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Sn00py's seems best right now, the detail of the terrain makes circles stand out a bit better even if they are of similar color, a circle is out of place.

Kuciwalker · April 20, 2003, 23:04

Wow, that must really suck... you've actually been sneak attacked because of it? Wow.

UnOrthOdOx · April 20, 2003, 23:06

Been sneak attacked, and have attacked the wrong civ when a similar color had a RoP with a nation and I did not have the auto warning on for attacking...

Mostly just a problem when I am loading a sav or for some reason am unable to see the units move between turns to take notes of where they all are.

DarkCloud · April 20, 2003, 23:06

Would there be a runoff in the event of a close vote?

There's a runoff unless one choice gets over 50% of the vote.

We need to restart an 8-player GoW PBEM and all choose colors so we are invisible to UnOrthO.

Tarquinius · April 21, 2003, 06:12

So this means there will be a run-off between black and blue soon?
I want to get started with this

I cannot wait to see what evil map BFM and Togas gave us

Me too, I am beginning to write nonsense on the PTW game now since I don't have a paper to write here.

Kloreep · April 23, 2003, 20:14

Time for a runoff... go Bab Blue!
